Skarparis Snaps Off Zouiten; Macaluso the "King Kong" of His Table

Javier Tazon raised to 10,000 in early position and Luigi Macaluso three-bet to 25,000 in the small blind.

"I see your eyes. I'm sure," Macaluso said to Tazon who took a minute before calling. The flop then came 7♥7♣2♠.

"Do you have a pocket?" Macaluso asked.

"Medium," Tazon replied. Macaluso then bet 30,000 and Tazon snap-folded.

"Small pocket," Macaluso said, turning over A♦A♥.

"He's the King Kong of the table," another tablemate added.

At another table, Fouad Zouiten had moved all in for 60,000 from the button and Georgios Skarparis snap-called in the big blind.

Fouad Zouiten: K♠9♣ All in
Georgios Skarparis: K♦10♥

Skarparis hit a pair on the A♥10♣8♠ flop to take a big lead, while Zouiten couldn't catch up on the 6♦ turn or 5♦ river and was eliminated.
